...A briefintroduction for Chinese culture
Cultural background
China, as one of the four homes of the world’s earliest civilization, has a recorded history of nearly 4,000 years. Through centuries of migration, merging and development, it has formed a distinctive system of language, writing, philosophy, art and political organization, which came to be recognized as Chinese culture.
It originated from Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasty, which was known as slave culture period. Xia culture represented the early Chinese culture and Zhou culture contributed to the form of more than 2000 years of feudalism culture in China. The May 4th Movement of 1919 was also an important date because it symbolized that it entered into a new culture period.
In the spring and autumn and warring-states period, slave society gradually turned into feudalism society and a lot of thinkers sprang up with their immortal work. Among those, Confucianism was the most successful, which helped to build up the norms and values of Chinese people in the following centuries and also was used as a method for emperors to rule the country. However, after the fall of Qing dynasty, the last feudalism dynasty, Confucianism, which was seen as the product of feudalism society lose its dominant position. But its influence still lasts until now.
Besides Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism also once played an important role in ancient Chinese. Nevertheless,...

Philosophy of love
How to speak about love if there is no clear certain definition of this feeling or even precise description? Nevertheless libraries all over the world are full of books written about it. And people will write about love as long as they exist. Since it is the most important and inseparable part of our humanity, ingrained in every human action. Wellspring of music and word, temples and cottages, paintings and sculptures. Source of insanity in operas and concerts, words of poets and philosophers, tragedies and comedies, celebrations and anguish of everyday life. Cause of bread and vine. Once in a while unseen, ruined, oppressed, covered by hatred, greed - irregardles - love is always what everyone is all about. What everyone yearn for, dream of, struggle to. Target to which people cut through the stumbling, falls, own and others’ foolishness, weakness and imperfections. As long as they live – they live and breathe love. Beget by love and extinguished by love.
As the topic of love is extremely broad and deep, I would like to focus on the most characteristic thinkers. The best-known ancient philosopher of love is Plato, who is especially famous for his...

...THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE
• According to Wechsler (1958), “intelligence is the aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally and to deal effectively with his environment.” The different definitions of intelligence basically deal with three aspects, ie., ability to adjust to total environment , ability to learn and the ability to carry on abstract thinking.
FACTOR THEORIS OF INTELLIGENCE-
The centre point of discussion of factor theories is whether intelligence is a single characteristic or a collection of specific distinguishable abilities. The technique adopted by these theories is known as factor analysis. It is a way of identifying groups of abilities or behaviours or traits that are related to one another. Following are the factor theories of intelligence;
*G-factor theory
*Multifactor Theories
*Hierarchical Theory
G-FACTOR THEORY
The British psychologist Charles Spearman observed that people who scored well on one test of mental ability tended to score well on other tests (Spearman,1927).He believed that performance on any cognitive task depended on a primary general factor (which he termed as g factor) and one or more specific factors relating to particular tasks.
Spearman, the originator of factor analysis based this view on the following findings: Although tests of intelligence...

...Dramatic Monologues:
According to M.H. Abrahms, dramatic monologue is a poetic form, "a lengthy speech by a single person", addressing a silent listener, intended to convey his or her inner thoughts and emotions. It can be rewritten in jargonised terms as 'a cross or hybrid of the genres of drama and lyric'. A lyric poem is ‘any fairly short poem, consisting of the utterance by a single speaker, who expresses a state of mind or a process of perception, thought, and feeling’. Though, the invention of the form remains unknown, it was widely practiced widely by poets of the Victorian era like Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson in"Ulysses", Dante and recent poets like Ezra Pound's "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter", Amy Lowell, Robert Frost's "The Pauper Witch of Grafton", T.S. Eliot's "Love Song of J". Alfred Prufrock, Robert Hayden's "Night, Death, Mississippi" and other poets of the twentieth century.
As we know, the dramatic monologue is arguably the greatest contribution of Victorian poetry. Is the most significant poetic innovation of the age and gained widespread use after the 1830s by an overwhelming range of poets. Though the form is cheifly associated with Robert Browning, there are many old English poems were dramatic monologues for example, "The Wanderer" and "The Seafarer", Robert Burns' "Holy Willie's Prayer." The technique is evident in many of the Greek dramas as well. But still the origin of the form have been much...

Turks and Mongols: AD 1000-1500 The first half of our own millennium was dominated, in Asia , Near East and Eastern Europe by the movement of Turks and Mongols. Almost every part of the continent (southern India and southeast Asia are the exceptions) is connected in this period by conquerors whose own roots lie in the steppes north of the mountain ranges. The first historical mention of the Turks is in Chinese accounts of a great empire established by a confederation of nomads in the 6th century AD. Stretching from north of the Great Wall in the east to the Black Sea in the west, the empire is known to the Chinese as T'u Küe and to the Turks themselves as Gök Türk. Besides different episodes and various states and formations, a global episode starts when in the 13th century the Mongols emerge from the steppes to setup a vast and virtually instant empire. By the time of Kublai Khan almost the whole habitable continent is theirs, except India, southeast Asia and Japan. In the 15th century Tamerlane (Timur) almost repeats...
